Damare, for Injuries.

The case of A. H. Weekly against
the Spring and Sixth street Railway
Company is on trial in the Superior
Court. This case was brought to re-
cover $4,000 damages for injuries, and
the plaintiff, in his complaint, alleges
that defendants are the owners of the
car company and of the Herdic Ph@ton
Company, in which he was employed
as driver. On the Sd of August,
plaintiff alleges that he was driving a
herdic from the Southern Pacific Rail
way depot to the Nadeau House, and
stopped at San Fernando street to let
on a passenger. While he was wait
ing, one OF the cars of the company
ran into his herdic, overturning it,
breaking his rib and his teeth and
bruising him considerably. He al
leges that the accident was due to the
carelessness of one of defendants SER
wants, and asks damages in the sum
of S5 900,

Defense of the Dissenting ROzelle
Jurors.

EDITORS HERALD Will you per-
NIT me to say a word in your
widely-read journal in behalf
of the much-abused dissenting jurors
in the Mrs. Rozelle trial, and of the
principle of the independence of
jurors as exemplified in their action
in that case? If conscientious Jurors,
and such assume these jurors to
have been, may not be true to their
connections without being subjected
to unlimited abuse, then goodbye to
all our fine-spun theories about the
sacred right Of trial by jury. What
is this right good for if juries may
only register the will OF the majority :?
The position of these three Jury
men, as l understand it, is perfectly
simple and straightforward, and their
fidelity to their convictions and to
their oaths, should entitle them to the
highest praise instead of to the un-
measured and, in my opinion, scan-
dalous obloquy they have received.
Only two persons know what
actually took place in Mrs. Rozelle's
room just preceding the throwing of
the vitriol. She tells one story and
Petrie another. Which is true? No
body knows but themselves. Which
! is probable? His certainly is not for,
take it, it may be set down as a uni
versal rule of action, no civilized hui
man being, man or woman, attacks
another human being with pistol,
knife, dynamite, vitriol, or what not,
to kill, without cause. 1t may be
that neither tells the truth. He GER
tainly does not; or, at least,
truth. For is it conceivable
that any human being without provo
cation of any kind whatever, so far as
the record shows, should of sudden,
from no apparent motive, attempt to
destroy the sight, if not the life, of
another? Such thing is preposter-
GUS on the face of it, One might as
well swear that the sky was as clear as
a bell from horizon to horizon, and
all of sudden rain began to fall at
the signal of clap of thunder, and
expect people in their senses to believe
such statement! The three jury
men merely declined to believe any
such improbable story as that told by
Petrie, and they had the stamina to
maintain their fidelity to their convic-
ions whatever happened And this
8 the whole case in nutshell, so far
ls their action in the premises is con-
eerned. If it be averred that there
we're other causes, why were they not
proved? Let those who clamor for
consistency in juries be consistent
themselves. B.

A Little Excitement.

There was little excitement just
below the Nadeau House at 5 O'Clock
last evening. One of the horses az.
tached to hack took a notion to lie
down, and the effect proved rather dis
astrous. He became entangled in the
harness and for two or three minutes
there was the confused spectacle of a
horse struggling madly to extricate
himself, and a general rush of passen-
gers from the sidewalk. 40 serious
damage was done beyond the break
ing down of some sign-boards and a
slight annoyance to the animals trap
pings.

City Taxes.

City Tax Collector Fields reports
taxes coming forward quite slowly,
and at the present rate there will be a
large number left unpaid. There are
so many unknown owners" that the
property holders should look to their
interests at an early date. The time
in which everybody must pay taxes is
not very long, and the unknown own
ers are urged to call at Mr.. Fields
office before the rush begins.

The End Of the World.

ATLANTA, Ga, March 23..-There is
great excitement among the colored peo.
pie and the ignorant whites along the
base of the Kenesaw Mountain in Cobb
and Gordon Counties. For some time q
colored girl named Lille Marles, near
Calhoun, has claimed to hold converse
with the angels, who told her many won
derful events of the future. She was
commanded to ascend the neighboring
hill, where she would have revelation
made to her. She returned in deep
ecstasy. She claims that when she
reached the summit an angel lifted her
high up in the air, whence she could
overlook the world. Gall shall be de.
stroyed," said the angel, ION the first
Saturday in December next; an earth.
quake will swallow up Calhoun. This
will be accompanied by q whirlwind.
Then great fire will burn all that is left,
and woe unto him who is not ready for
the great day"
Many other things were said, all Of
which were listened to with the greatest
of interest by the colored people. The
excitement thus created has been famed
into fierce fame by the appearance of
a Greek cross suspended over Mount
Kenesaw. It looked as if it were of
rainbow origin. After hanging for half
an hour before the astonished citizens it
slowly dissolved. Several times since
the apparition has been witnessed, and
thus the terror, which at first was con-
fined to the negroes, has now extended to
the whites, and the result is prayer meet
ings of great interest. The first Satur.
day of December is looked forward to as
day of terror.

Treasury Department Changes.

1t is now regarded rs settled that
Assistant Secretary Fairchild will sue
ceed Daniel Manning as secretary of the
Treasury, and that his appointment will
be officially announced the latter part OF
next week. Solicitor McCue and Comp.
troller Maynard are spoken of as possible
successors of Fairchild as Assistant
Secretary. The former, however, is said
to prefer the new Circuit Judgeship in
New York city, and the latter is under.
stood to prefer his present position.
Third Auditor Williams and Chief Clerk
Youmans are also said to be aspirants to
the Assistant Secretaryship.
Nothing has yet been settled in regard
to the Treasurership. Jordan's resigna.
ton has not yet been accepted, and while
he requested the President to relieve him
of the duties and responsibilities of Office
about the Sd of April, it is thought he
would consent to retain the position a
while longer if the President 80 desired.
The chances are, however, that the Presi.
dent will be able to select his successor
before the date specified by Jordan. 1t
is said that the President desires to select
o new Treasurer from the West.
There is considerable comment at the
Treasury Department over the failure of
Congress to make any provision for pay.
ing the salary of the new Circuit Judge
of New York. The act creating the Office
fixed the compensation at $4,000 per
annum, but no provision for its payment
was made in any of the regular appropri:

therefore have to LOOK to Congress to
supply the omission in the next deficiency
appropriation bill. It is not likely that
the Office will be declined for this rea-

A Blow at Liquor Dealers.

The Connecticut house of representa-.
tives passed a.curious bill on Thursday.
It is the straightest temperance measure
of the session, and it hits hard rap at
the saloons. Heretofore saloons have
been permitted to be open from FIVE
o'clock in the morning until midnight.
The bill passed Thursday requires them
to keep their doors locked until seven in
the morning, 80 that all working people
who begin their labors at that hour are
shnt off from getting their morning nip.
An effort was MADE to amend the bill 80
as to make no restriction on the morning
hour for opening saloons in the cities,
but the seven o'clock feature tickled the
fancy of the temperance element because
of the practical destruction of the morn
ing business OF the saloons, and they
voted down the amendment by 1872 to IS.
The bill closes all saloons in the country
towns at eleven o'clock at night, but In
the cities they may be kept open until
midnight by special permission of the
authorities, The bill, which will doubt
less pass the senate, is the hardest blow
to the liquor trade for years.

A Blind Inventor.

The inventor of the new Austrian
magazine rifle, Herr Franz Fortelka, a
former lieutenant of the Austrian army,
received, during the first campaign in
Bosnia, shot in his right eye which
destroyed the optic nerve, and indirectly
30 affected the left eye that the poor
officer, now only twenty-eight years old,
has been during the last nine years
totally blind. But without the use ofhis
eyesight this ingenious man hasinvented
during these years not only q new maga-
zine rife, but also two machines for the
anti.oxidation of iron, steel and other
metals, at cost which must be called
ridiculously small further an apparatus
for automatical mapping, new mio-
rometer, a new sort of gunpowder, not to
speak of smaller inventions which have
found their way into the lesser industrial
establishments of Vienna, and thereby
saved the inventor from starvation. The
more important of his discoveries, far
from bringing in any money until now,
necessitated an outlay which he could
afford only by the practice of extreme
personal privations.

Prohibition in Anderson.

It will be seen BY the published pro.
ceedings OF the meeting held at Anderson
City on the 18th inst, that the people Of
that County are aroused on the Prohibi.
,ion Local Option Act passed by the last
General Assembly for that County. The
measure has very strong support from
people living in nearly all parts Of the
County. hon. B. F. Crayton, q man of
sound discretion and judgment, and who
has served his County and State in the
upper branch of the Legislature, and who
has in the past been prominently spoken
of for the Governorship, is giving the
prohibition movement his cooperation
and counsel as one of its leaders. Sup.
ported BY such man, and sustained by
others equally good but may be not
altogether as prominent in the public
affairs of the County, let us hope that the
measure will be triumphantly carried at
the polls. Ifso, our neighbor will be in
the van in genuine and true progress.
Many friends of prohibition in Green.
Vile County as well as all over the State,
will observe the Anderson campaign
with much interest and concern, not only
as to the result but as to the methods
used. This is not by any means the first
time that Anderson has been in the front
in leading the way towards prosperity.
This measure, like that of the stock law
and other reforms, after 1t has been in
operation few years, will no doubt
prove so bene6cent that even its opposers
will become it's advocates.
A Local Option Act may be passed for
Greenville County at the next session of
the Legislature, as all our delegation
committed themselves to it in the pri-
mary election campaign; and if so, her
people will have the benefit Of the blaz'
ing out of the way as done by Anderson,
which will aid doubtless in escaping
many attritions that are almost inevita-
